The menu your guests see should match what you’re serving.

Menu Cooker gives your restaurant a digital menu that guests open with a QR code. Update a price, hide a dish that’s sold out, or add tonight’s special without printing new menus. Menu Cooker is built around what changes mid-shift.

  • Sold out? Hide the dish with one tap.
  • Schedule specials for the days and times you serve them.
  • Adjust your hours for a private event or an early close.
  • Keep using the same QR code when your menu changes.

Free for 30 days. No credit card required. Scheduled specials and hours changes are included with Plus.

Getting started

1

Add your menu

Upload photos of your current menu, and Menu Cooker turns them into a draft. Check the dishes and prices, make any corrections, and add allergen information. You can also enter everything yourself.

2

Share your QR code

Download your QR code and put it on tables, at the bar, or in the window. It keeps working when you change the menu.

3

Update it as you go

Hide sold-out dishes, change prices, and add new items whenever you need to. With Plus, you can also schedule specials and adjust the hours shown for today.

When things change, update your menu

Hide sold-out dishes

Run out of the grouper halfway through dinner? Tap to hide it from the menu. Turn it back on when it’s available again.

Schedule your specials

Set happy hour for weekdays from 4 to 6, or add a special for a single evening. It appears on the menu during the times you choose.

Change today’s hours

Closing early for a private party? Change today’s hours or mark the day as closed. Your regular weekly hours resume tomorrow.

Show allergen information

Add allergen details to each dish so guests can check them while they browse. Guests can also filter the menu using the information you’ve provided.

Label dietary options

Mark dishes as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and more. Guests can see the labels beside each dish and filter by what they’re looking for.

Search the whole menu

Guests can search for a dish or ingredient across your menus, sections, and specials.

Import your menu from photos

You don’t have to type it all again. Upload menu photos, then review the sections, dishes, and prices alongside the originals before importing them.

Questions

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera, and the menu opens in their browser. They don’t need an account.

What happens after the free trial?

To keep your menu online after 30 days, add a payment method in Billing. If you don’t subscribe, your public menu pauses until you do. You can cancel anytime.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade in Settings → Billing.

Does it replace my POS?

No. You’ll keep using your POS for orders and payments. Menu Cooker handles the menu your guests browse.

Why use this instead of a PDF?

You can edit individual dishes and prices without creating and uploading a new file. Guests get a menu designed for their phone, with search and filters. Plus also lets you schedule specials and change today’s hours.

What if I need something else?

Email support@menucooker.com and tell us what you need. Some additional features can be set up for Plus accounts.

Try it with your own menu.

You can start with photos of the menu you already have. Your first 30 days are free, with no credit card required.
